RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Brazeau County Council agree to apply the exemption as outlined in Ministerial Order MSL:047/18 from the requirements of Section 631 of the MGA as both Yellowhead County and Brazeau County have a common boundary composed entirely of federal or provincial crown land.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Recent changes to the Municipal Government Act required all municipalities to create intermunicipal collaboration frameworks (ICF) and intermunicipal development plans (IDP) with their neighbours. Municipal Affairs recently issued Ministerial Order No. MSL: 047/18 which exempts parties from the requirement to create an IDP where the entire area along one or both sides of the common boundary between the parties is composed entirely of federal or provincial Crown land.

Municipal Affairs requires all parties to agree to apply the exemption by council resolution and be filed with the Minister within 90 days of the date the resolution is passed.

We have recently been contacted by Yellowhead County to agree to apply this exemption for our shared boundary with them and as such recommend Council make the resolution as worded above. Administration will forward the resolution to Yellowhead County and once their council has done the same, both will be filed with the Minster.

His Worship Gerald Soroka AUS 2 Mayor, Yellowhead County 2716-1 Avenue EdsonAB T7E1N9

Dear Mayor Soroka,

Thank you for your letter of July 31,2018, to the Honourable Shaye Anderson, requesting an exemption for your Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks (ICFs) and your Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs).

On July 19, 2018, Ministerial Order No. MSL:047/18 was approved, which provides an exemption from the requirement to create an IDP where the entire area along the common boundary is composed of federal or provincial crown land. The exemption recognizes the limited value In the creation of an IDP, which can be demanding in terms of time and resource requirements, where development is restricted.

The exemption applies, based on the condition that all parties to the IDP agree to apply the exemption by resolution, and file copies of the resolutions with the department within 90 days of the date each resolution is passed. Given your common boundaries and your agreement in principle, all that remains is for each municipality to submit a resolution to this effect.

Although the Ministerial Order provides an exemption from an IDP, It does not provide an exemption for an ICF. The ICF requirements exemplify our strengthened focus on regional collaboration as set out in the recent Municipal Government Act{MGA) changes. The ICF Is reasonably straight-forward in terms of implementation; the process requires a joint discussion about existing services delivered on an intermunicipal basis, and about opportunities to further leverage these or other services through co-operation. Since the time commitment is minimal and provides opportunity to improve both service delivery and local relationships, we are not prepared to provide an exemption from the legislated ICF requirements.

...12

25 -2-

The Ministerial Order aiso provides a one-year extension for iCFs between municipal districts and improvement districts. The extension appiies on the condition that aii parties agree by resolution, and fiie copies of the resoiutions with the department within 90 days of the date each resoiution is passed.

If you require additional advice in completing your iCF, please contact Michael ScheidI, Manager, Intermunicipal Relations, at 780-415-1197, orbyemaii at M ichaei.Scheidi@aov. ab.ca.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION Brazeai^^v County^

SUBJECT: Land Acquisition Policy PW-8

DATE TO COUNCIL: September 4, 2018

SUBMITTED BY: L. Fischer, Director of Public Works

/ ENDORSED BY:

REVIEWED BY CAO:

FILE NO:

Report/Document Attached x Available Nil

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council approve the Land Acquisition Policy PW-8 as presented.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

General Background on Municipal Land Policies

Many current Municipal Land Policies are remnants of past policies from times when the municipal road networks were being developed into all-weather type roads from roads that were typically impassible with adverse weather. During those times landowners were more willing to work with the Municipality as there was in most cases a direct benefit to the landowner. The present challenge is that many road projects are driven by development, resource pressures, market factors and cases where Municipalities are developing new aggregate sources. Many of these reasons for upgrading the road are viewed negatively and with no perceived direct benefit by many of the landowners that are impacted. In many cases the landowners are opposed to the project as it may affect their homesite or operation and they see no benefit to them personally. This coupled with Municipal Land Policies that are not proactive and do not fully compensate landowners for their economic losses limits the success of acquiring the right of way required for these projects.

The current governing legislation in Alberta dealing with the acquisition of land by Municipal and Provincial Governments is the Expropriation Act, RSA 2000. Many Municipal Land Policies do not reflect and are not consistent with the provisions for compensation based on the Expropriation Act. The challenge is if the situation arises where the required land is acquired through the formal Expropriation process, the proposed compensation offer made by the Municipality will likely be much lower than what the landowner is entitled to under the provisions of the Act. The Land Compensation Board may view the exercise as a waste of time and resources if the landowner

Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - PW-8 Page 1 of 2 31 may have entered into a voluntary agreement had the initial compensation been based on the provisions of the Act.

RESPONSE OPTIONS Possible ways to achieve the main result with analysis highlights. OpJ^pji. Analysis

Council approves staff Landowners are fairly compensated and kept recommendation economically "whole". Higher success rate acquiring the right of way and less project delays and cancellations. Improved relations with landowners. Improved Due Diligence. Cost savings by acquiring the land through voluntary agreement with the landowner and avoiding the costly and time-consuming Expropriation process. Lower land consulting costs.

b. Council rejects the request as Landowners are economically impacted by the submitted project and are left in a negative position. Project delays and cancellations. Costs for land acquisition and engineering potentially lost in the event of a project cancelation. Escalation of poor landowner relations. High cost in the event the required land is acquired through the Expropriation process. Average costs of Expropriation $100,000 - $200,000 per landowner for fees alone. Higher land consulting costs.

3. IMPUCATIONS OF RECOMMENDATIONS

Operational: n/a

Financial: The benefits of having a Municipal Land Policy that is aligned with the compensation provisions set by the Expropriation Act will likely have a lower overall cost than a Municipal Land Policy that does not fully compensate landowners for the impact of the right of way acquisition. The costs associated with project delays and cancellations as well as creating potential long term negative relationships with landowners can be quite significant. The ability to effectively deliver construction programs on schedule will also be improved by having Municipal Land Policies that are fair and proactive.

Land Acquisition Agreement

Clause 1- remove the wording "free and clear of all encumbrances"

Clause 2.2- remove

Clause 2.4- remove "The Owner releases the Municipality from any claim for additional payment for the Right of Way." Redundant as it is addressed in clause 2.3.

Clause 5- remove the wording "Replacement Fence and/or the" from the last sentence. The Replacement Fence should always be constructed on private land adjacent to the new right of way boundary.

Clause 7- remove. The Owner should not be expected to indemnify the Municipality. Indemnification and save harmless clause not required in a land purchase agreement. Very difficult to convince a landowner to sign an agreement with this clause.

Signature page - replace "his" hand to "their" hand.

Insert Owner Name under signature line.

Backslope Agreement

Clause 7- last line "their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns" should be removed as the agreement is not registered at Land Titles and therefore responsibilities cannot pass to future parties as they would not be aware of such commitments. Agreement is only valid with current landowner as a temporary unregistered right.

Clause 8- remove wording "of lawful money of Canada" unnecessary wording. Obvious payment would be in Canadian funds.

Clause 9- remove last sentence "The Owner releases the Municipality from any claim for additional payment for entering into this agreement, use of the backslope area, removal of earth materials and crop damages."

Clause 11- In first sentence remove the wording "in its sole and absolute discretion" and replace with "in consultation with the Owner".

Clause 13- Revise Owner to Municipality and Municipality to Owner. It should be the Municipality indemnifying and saving harmless the Owner not the other way around. Remove the last sentence completely.

Signature page - replace "his" hand to "their" hand.

Clause 7 - In first sentence remove the wording "in its sole and absolute discretion" and replace with "in consultation with the Owner".

Clause 8 - last word "rents" I believe should be intents?

Clause 10 - Revise Owner to Municipality and Municipality to Owner. It should be the Municipality indemnifying and saving harmless the Owner not the other way around. Remove the last sentence completely.

Clause 13- In order to register a caveat it is recommended that some consideration be paid upfront making this an option type agreement or it may not have legal standing and able to be discharged by the Owner.

Signature page - replace "his" hand to "their" hand.

Landscape Borrow Agreement Agreement refers to County throughout. Recommended it be revised to the Municipality to be consistent with the other land related agreements.

Clause 6 - last sentence "their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns" should be removed as the agreement is not registered at Land Titles and therefore responsibilities cannot pass to future parties as they would not be aware of such commitments. Agreement is only valid with current landowner as a temporary unregistered right.

56 Brazeau County Policy Review

General Background on Municipal Land Policies

Benefits of Having Proactive Municipai Land Policies

Landowners are fairly compensated and kept economically "whole". Higher success rate acquiring the right of way and less project delays and cancellations. Improved relations with landowners. Improved Due Diligence. Cost savings by acquiring the land through voluntary agreement with the landowner and avoiding the costly and time-consuming Expropriation process. Lower land consulting costs.

Risks Associated with Non-Proactive Municipai Land Policies

Landowners are economically impacted by the project and are left in a negative position. Project delays and cancellations. Costs for land acquisition and engineering potentially lost in the event of a project cancelation. Escalation of poor landowner relations. High cost in the event the required land is acquired through the Expropriation process. Average costs of Expropriation $100,000 - $200,000 per landowner for fees alone. Higher land consulting costs.

57 Summary

The benefits of having a Municipal Land Policy that is aligned with the compensation provisions set by the Expropriation Act will likely have a lower overall cost than a Municipal Land Policy that does not fully compensate landowners for the impact of the right of way acquisition. The costs associated with project delays and cancellations as well as creating potential long term negative relationships with landowners can be quite significant. The ability to effectively deliver construction programs on schedule will also be improved by having Municipal Land Policies that are fair and proactive.

Another key aspect to having a proactive Municipal Land Policy is having flexibility within the policy to be able to address any item of value or any devaluation created by the proposed project. It is difficult to list out every possible item that may require compensation but the rule of thumb should be if it has a value and it is affected it should be considered as a compensable item.

The delegation of the approving authority is also important to the success and timely completion of the right of way acquisition process. Having a policy that allows for approval at the Municipal Administration level opposed to the requirement of Council's approval on each item will allow the process to become streamlined and much more effective.

UPDATE REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT: ERBR, Willey West Campground and Bridge Construction Information

DATE TO COUNCIL: September 4^ 2018

PREPARED BY: Lee Chambers, Director of Community Services

UPDATE INFORMATION:

The following motion was made at the July 3'"'^, 2018 regular Council meeting:

0747/18-07-03 Moved by A. Heinrich to direct Administration to bring back the designation of the Eagle Point Blue Rapids Park, how is it different from other provincial parks, how many lots in Willey West were lost due to the bridge construction and how many and what type of lots are being developed. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

See attached correspondence from Sandra Bannard, Executive Director, for the Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks Council as previously presented on August 28'^^, regarding background information on the Eagle Point Blue Rapids Park.

In 2014, Flatiron Construction Corporation utilized part of Willey West Campground to stage soil for the bridge construction on highway AB-22. The green space adjacent to the playground was utilized for soil storage. While no campsites were lost, the green space was temporarily unavailable to the public. In order to compensate Brazeau County for this use, Flatiron agreed to develop an additional 24 new RV campsites including the installation of gravel pads. In 2015, these additional campsites were developed. The County further improved these campsites by upgrading the electrical services, as per the following motion made at the February 21®^ 2017 regular Council meeting;

0131/17 Moved by K. Westerlund that Council approve Option B: to install power to 15 sites, fix existing electrical problems and install power to an additional 24 sites (Sites 7,15-34, and 57-70)for a total of $218,526.00 from previous Brazeau Node funding, conditional to negotiating revenue sharing with the operator. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

In August of 2017, Administration renegotiated the Willey West contract to include revenue sharing for the remaining two years of the contract.

Background Information

History

The Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks System was established in 2007. Together the Parks protect the natural and cultural landscape features of a 53 km stretch of the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Eagle Point Park is a designated provincial park and Blue Rapids Park is a designated provincial recreation area. The areas, prior to receiving Parks designation was primarily Crown Land that included small provincial protection areas. Before becoming provincial parks, the land management of the area was challenging due to the great number of industrial, recreational, and agricultural leases occurring in such close proximity. This land use pattern along with a growing number of unmanaged recreational activities resulted in conflicts amongst the different user groups. In 2005 a steering committee was formed following community consultation with local municipalities and stakeholders. The steering committee submitted a formal proposal to the Government of Alberta on behalf of the six local organizations, the Town of Drayton Valley, Brazeau County and the local MLA Tony Abbott with rational to bring new management to the area that included the proposal of the Eagle Point Provincial Park and the Blue Rapids Provincial Recreation Area. On August 29, 2007 Cabinet approved the designation of the Parks. At this time, it was agreed that a formal partnership would be created between Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation and a new incorporated organization with representatives from the steering committee. This organization would become the Eagle Point Blue Rapids Parks Council. EPBRPC is the only Parks Council of its kind within the province of Alberta.

103 Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation accepted the objects and bylaws of the Council, and joined the Council as a Government of Alberta member. Membership is categorized by; Government Members (Alberta Environment and Parks, Brazeau County, Town of Drayton Valley), Operating Partners (includes Brazeau ATV Club, Brazeau Bowbenders Archery Club, Drayton Valley Horse Club, Drayton Valley Paddling Club, Drayton Valley Rotary Club, Evergreen Shooting Club, West Central River Boat Association, Pembina Nordic Ski Club), and finally interest members (oil & gas and sand & gravel representatives, adjacent landowners' representative and an environmental protection club representative).

Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks Council and the Government of Alberta

A memorandum of understanding is the guiding document that supports the relationship between Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks Council and the Government of Alberta and is included as an appendix in the Management Plan. At the time of signing the agreement the department from the GOA was Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation, with the successor department now being Alberta Environment and Parks. The MOU speaks to issues regarding government participation on the Council, Liaison Relationships, Management Goals and Objectives, Management Plan and Public Consultation-Roles and Responsibilities, Ongoing Park Management and Operations-Roles and Responsibilities and other procedural matters.

Funding and Operations

• Operations for the early years of the Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks council was supported by a very substantial Rural Alberta Development Fund Grant. • In 2012 Environmental Education Programs were introduced. Many corporate sponsors (primarily oil and gas companies) were excited to be part of this new initiative and had financial resources to contribute to programming that tackled education and environment initiatives. Partnerships ranged from one time to multi-year sponsorships. • EPBRPC has received numerous federal, provincial and municipal grants as well as many non-government grants for project based initiatives since its inception. o EPBRPC has leveraged substantial resources from federal/municipal government, community and corporate donors ■ From 2011-2016: Average cash raised annually $275,000 ■ From 2011-2016: Average in-kind contributions $130,000 • Operations cost for basic operations are $150,000/year to support governance, fundraising, outreach, tourism and environmental education. Includes three staff at .5 FTE.

104 • Alberta Environment and Parks has contributed $50,000/year to the Parks Council for 2015-2017.

Success Story of the Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks Council

Questions for Counselors to Consider

Do you see the Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks System as a tourism asset that could aid in economic diversification?

Are there areas/projects/initiatives that you would like to see the Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks Council become more involved in within the community at large?

If the Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks Council was not able to operate in its current capacity how do you think that may affect area residents, visitors and the administration of Town Council and County Council?

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Council directs Administration to produce a Winter edition of the Seed beginning in January 2019, and incorporate an additional $4,025 to the 2019 budget.

1. TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: At the July 3, 2018, Council meeting. Council passed the following motion: 0372/18-07-03 Moved by A. Heinrich to direct Administration to investigate utilizing the Brazeau Newsletter and Seed publications more frequently and bring a report for review for August 21, 2018.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

The Seed The Seed is published three times per year, in the spring, summer, and fall. Each issue is 16 pages and the production schedule takes one week. The 2017 cost for production and distribution for 3,500 copies was $20,206. Adding a fourth Seed publication to the schedule will create a quarterly agricultural publication, one for each season. Winter issue topics could include calving and preparing for the spring season. Because the current Spring issue is published in late May each year, a winter issue would fill a gap in agricultural issues between the late fall and early spring. The cost for this additional issue is estimated at an additional $4,025 per year.

DATE TO COUNCIL: September 4, 2018

PREPARED BY: Ken Maclnnis, Corporate Communications Coordinator M-

UPDATE INFORMATION:

During the Regular Council meeting on August 21st, Council directed Administration to provide more information on the Brazeau County News newsletter, pursuant to motion 0865/18-08-21:

0865/18-08-21 Moved by A. Heinrich to direct Administration to contact the local community groups to see if they can meet a monthly timeline and price out the cost of a 16 or 24 page newsletter and bring hack to the September 4, 2018 Council meeting.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

Administration has received estimates on the cost of a monthly newsletter at both 16 and 24 pages, as follows:

Current BCN Express 16 pages 24 pages monthly monthly

$39,771 $54,321 $68,014 $79,494

36.6% increase 71.0% increase 99.9% increase The cost increases are due to mailing costs, which will be incurred twice as often, and are not offset significantly by a decrease in the newsletter's weight due to a lower page count. Production costs also go up as the frequency increases, and available pages for feature content will decrease. Any increased costs would either need to be incorporated into the 2019 budget, or funds would need to be allocated into the 2018 budget for any additional issues published in 2018. Staff time and publication quality will be significantly impacted by a monthly publication schedule.

Administration received five responses back to inquiries to community groups about monthly timelines. One respondent said they would prefer a monthly timeline. Two said a monthly timeline was notfeasible.

Brazeau County - Update Report to Council - Brazeau County Newsfrequency Page 1 of 2 109 one said they would use the County News only every second month to insert content, and the fourth said they would adjust to any schedule.

Attached to this report are examples of the Brazeau County News Express, which could be produced and distributed in the months between regular Brazeau County News newsletters.

BRAZEAU COUNTY

UPDATE REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Tax Roll Numbers for Communication Towers

DATE TO COUNCIL: September 4, 2018

PREPARED BY: Colin Swap, Acting Director of Corporate Services

UPDATE Several property owners in Brazeau County lease space for INFORMATION: communication towers on their property. Since communication towers are considered industrial infrastructure they are assessed at a higher rate than residential or agricultural property, which is reflected on the annual tax notices. Administration's current practice is to send a tax notice to the property owner only, meaning the telecommunication company does not receive a copy. Traditionally the property owner then contacts the finance division to obtain a breakdown of the amount of tax owing for the tower and it is the responsibility of the property owner to arrange compensation for the taxes on the telecommunications tower. Administration has been looking into the possibility of assigning individual tax roll numbers to communication towers. The MD of Bonnyville had instituted this practice. However, when Administration contacted staff at Bonnyville it was learned that the MD has discontinued the practice for the reasons, outlined below:

• Towers are not assessable property and the assessment of them is not supported by the Municipal Government Act.

• No current tax recovery guidelines exist in the event these tax rolls fall into arrears. Since they are not assessable property, if the towers did fall into arrears the taxes owing would ultimately go back on the individual(s) on title for the whole property. This could result in tax recovery proceedings. Ultimately Bonnyville decided to revert back to their original process, which is similar to what is currently in place in Brazeau County.

Brazeau County - Report to Council - Tax Roll Numbersfor Communication Towers Page 1 of 2 117 There are a number of options Council could consider moving forward. • Council could direct Administration to go ahead with assigning separate roll numbers for telecommunications towers, with the awareness that there Is no provision for It under the Municipal Government Act.

• Property owners who have lease agreements for towers on their property could sign a form allowing the communication company to be listed as an Interested party on title. This would mean the Interested party would receive a copy of the tax notice and could determine the tax owing for the tower by multiplying the commercial assessment by the non-resldentlal tax rate. This would be complicated If the property has more than one commercially assessed portion. • Corporate Services could receive permission from the affected property owners to Issue the tax breakdowns to the communication companies directly, without property owners having to request It each year. Administration Is seeking Council direction on how they would like to move forward.

BYLAW; 1002-18

SUBJECT: LUB Omnibus Textual Amendments to Land Use Bylaw 939-17

Report/Document Attached x Available Nil

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council approves First Reading of Bylaw 1002-18 to repeal and replace Land Use Bylaw (LUB) 939- 17 in accordance with the proposed text amendments contained in this report and attached appendices, and set the Public Hearing for October 16, 2018 at 2:00 pm.

1. TOPICS DEFINED

Executive Summary:

This report has been prepared for Council to implement recommendations stemming from a comprehensive review of the County's planning structure and regulatory processes. In particular, the identification of a provision within the Municipal Government Act (MGA) where a Municipality can decide on an application for a development permit even though the proposed development does not comply with the land use bylaw or is a non-conforming building based on a criterion established under the MGA. It should be noted that it does not enable approval of uses not prescribed within the land use bylaw for the zone.

Carrying out the amendment referred to above also provided the opportunity to carry out minor small amendments relating to other provisions arising from the Modernization of the MGA, and changes identified by the planning staff to assist with either providing clarification or amendments made by Council in the past. The LUB should be viewed as a living document that requires changes identified through implementation or changes occurring externally to keep it relevant. These changes however, need to also avoid creating a situation where they become inconsistent with the Municipal Development Plan. The changes being recommended are not considered to alter the LUB significantly where it would become inconsistent with this document.

Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision -18A-010- Bylaw 1002-18 Page 1 of 9 123 Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined:

The main purpose of the LUB Omnibus Textual Amendments Is to provide flexibility to Council In the Development Permitting process by referencing Section 640(6) of the MGA within the LUB. By Incorporating this piece of legislation Into the County's LUB, Council will have the ability to approve developments that may not comply with the development regulations of the LUB or non-conforming uses.

Other minor textual amendments of reducing the use of the term "shall" to "should" has also been carried out where It Is viewed that the Development Officer may have greater flexibility on the Information being requested. It should be noted that In some cases this may require Internal or external professional staff to provide confirmation to the Development Officer In relation to confirming certain technical reports may not be required.

The definition of manufactured homes Is very limited and beyond being a dwelling unit for Intended occupancy has to meet the CSA A277 standards. These standards effectively relate to requirements under the building code and should be addressed through the building permit process. The challenge arises when a manufactured home Is relocated to another site and does not require a building permit but does not meet the CSA A277 standards and therefore would be In non-compliance. This could place the County In a situation of liability If approved under the LUB where the structure has been relocated to a new lot but does not meet the current building standards. A condition of the development permit could require compliance with the CSA A277 standards or alternatively Council use the provision of MGA Section 640(6) to approve the development.

The federal legalization of Cannabis coming Into effect later this year has prompted municipalities to amend their regulatory framework to Include provisions for the production, distribution and sale of Cannabis. As part of a separate report by administration, the provisions regarding amendments to the LUB for Cannabis will have been adopted by Council. As we are repealing and replacing the LUB we have Included the new provisions.

Finally, It has come to administrations attention that currently there are no provisions governing food trucks which has arisen through enquiries to obtain development permits for their use. In the majority of cases food trucks are located within the public realm such as parks and along the side of roads. Currently Food Trucks are finding the development approval process within other Jurisdictions to be too onerous where more than one permit is being required. This amendment seeks to permit Food Trucks as a temporary use with the requirement for only a Development Permit being required. The purpose of the Development Permit Is to enable administration to place conditions around managing safety of location, disposal of waste and compliance with Provincial Health regulations governing eating establishments. It Is also anticipated that such permits should be easily processed and Issued upon receipt of an application.

Other Items:

We understand that at the August 21, 2018 Regular Meeting It was raised that the Agriculture Holdings District be removed and the minimum lot sizes permitted under this district be moved Into the Agriculture District. This could mean a permitted vacant lot would be reduced from 15

Brazeau County• Request for Council Decision -18A-010 - Bylaw 1002-18 Page 2 of9 124 acres to 4 acres in the Agricultural District. The rationale for this change is based on the extra regulatory process involved when an agricultural holding wants to subdivide out a lot less than 15 acres. This triggers the requirement to also carry out a redistricting process on the property to the Agricultural Holding District. Given the time aspects related to proceeding with the amendments outlined in this report it is recommended that Council either hold off on the amendments to enable the complete process to be carried out (entire Omnibus report) or address this particular proposed amendment as a separate report item. To carry out this change requires advising all landowners who are currently zoned Agricultural Holdings District of the changes to fully inform them of the what is being recommended, of which there are a significant number within the County. It also enables administration to complete a proper analysis to ensure any changes don't potentially create complications with administering the LUB.

Relevant Policies; LUB 939-17 does not include the MGA provision that grants a development authority more discretionary power when reviewing a development permit application (Proposed to amend to Section 2.1.7 - Development Authority).

LUB 939-17 Sections: 1.6.1 Application in Process 1.7.5 Non-Conformity 2.6.3 Decision-Making Structure 3.4.6 Subdivision Application Requirements 3.7 Referrals for Development Applications - Discretionary Use, Variance & Subdivision Application 3.12.4 Development Permit Conditions 4.1 Requirements for Subdivision Application 8 Development Regulations 8.12.8 Development Regulations - Hazardous Areas 8.18 Signs 8.18.10 Signs 10.1 & 10.2 AG/AGH -Setbacks, Discretionary Use, Minimum Lot Size 11.4.2 BCC- Birchwood County Condo Permitted/Discretionary Use 11.5.5 MHP Manufactured Home Park - Landscaping Requirements 12.1 C Commercial - Discretionary Use 12.2 Rl Rural Industrial - Discretionary Use 12.3 LI Light Industrial - Discretionary Use 13.3 I Institutional - Development Permit Exemption 15 Definitions-Agricultural Extensive; Agricuitural, Intensive Class 2; Cannabis; Cannabis Production and Distribution Facility; Cannabis Retail Sales; Food Trucks, Home Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision -18A-010 - Bylaw 1002-18 Page 3 of9 125 Occupation, Major; Home Occupation Medium; Home Occupation, Minor; Industrial Hemp, Industrial Hemp Production; Manufactured Home; Retail; Scale Office; Weigh Scale.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council directs Administration to bring forward amendments to the Poplar Ridge ASP to designate the Lot 1 Block 12 Plan 022 0104 within SE 18-49-7-W5M (subject lands) as Open Space.

TOPIC DEFINED

Executive Summary/Key lssue(s)/Concepts Defined: Lot 1 Block 12 Plan 022 0104 within SE 18-49-7-W5M (subject lands) is 1.48 acres in size, located within the Poplar Ridge Industrial Park and currently zoned Rural Industrial (Rl) in Land Use Bylaw (LUB) 939-17. The owner of the subject lands requested a meeting to discuss potential future development options. Upon review. Administration found that the subject lands fall within the Brazeau County and Town of Drayton Valley Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) and the Poplar Ridge Area Structure Plan (ASP). Below is a summary of the designation of the subject lands in the various planning documents:

LUB 939-17 Rural Industrial Appendix E While the subject lands are designated as Open Space in the IDP, they are not identified as any of the land use classifications in the Poplar Ridge ASP Future Land Use Concept Map, however they are identified as a future trail in Future Trail Concept (Appendix D). The subject lands are

Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision -18A-012 Page 1 of 4 132 identified as Open Space in the IDP and as a trail in the ASP because of the regional trail between the County and Town. The Town's Municipal Development Plan (MDP), identifies land to the east of the subject lands as Park and Public Open Space. Furthermore, the Town's Westview ASP identifies lands north and east of the subject lands as a regional recreation trail system. Currently, the subject lands have a development permit application submitted to demolish the existing house and Alberta Environment and Parks has approved the infill of the dugout. The drainage way has been redirected north of the subject lands into the Town of Drayton Valley. Due to the small size of the subject lands and the lot layout, there is a limited developable area for Rural Industrial uses. The landowner does not wish to pursue a Rural Industrial development and Instead Is proposing to better align with County policy documents by applying to rezone the property from Rural Industrial to Recreation. In the application, the landowner has stated the proposed use of the land is a private club/campground. In speaking with the landowner, this would likely be in the form of a Recreational Vehicle Campground Minor (under 20 sites) and a park. Administration recommends that Council directs Administration to bring forward amendments to the Poplar Ridge ASP to designate the subject lands as Open Space.

Relevant Policy: Brazeau County and Town of Drayton Valley IDP, Poplar Ridge ASP and LUB 939-17. Below are key policies for Council consideration. A full list of relevant policy can be found in Appendix H. • IDP Policy 4.3.6: The policies of the Area Structure Plans amended and/or prepared pursuant to the policies of this Growth Management Plan shall apply to all new subdivision and development in the Plan areas. • ASP Policy 42: Brazeau County shall endeavor to ensure that Open Space areas in the plan area remain in their natural state with exceptions only for developments related to or supporting recreation, such as trails, natural interpretation sites and parks, or for agricultural use. • ASP Policy 44: Brazeau County may require the dedication of environmental reserve where natural features qualify under the direction of the Municipal Government Act. In cases where the dedication of environmental reserve is not appropriate, Brazeau County may also request the dedication of municipal reserve to ensure that the intent behind the Open Space designation is fulfilled. • ASP Policy 51: Brazeau County shall establish a trail system in the plan area as subdivision and development occurs. The alignments of this system shall be generally as identified in Figure 5: Future Trail Concept of this plan. The Development Authority may, with its discretion, alter the alignment of this trail system without an amendment to this plan if the new alignment maintains the overall intent of providing public access, enjoyment and connectivity.

Brazeau County - Request for Council Decision - LUA18A-012 Page 2 of 4 133 strategic Relevance: Obtaining Council direction on the future use of the subject lands will enable Administration to move forward with the landowner to establish an option suitable to both the County and landowner.

151 Application for a road from Township Road 504 to Range Road 81 South

1 Adam H. Kanarski would like to put forward a request to have a road built from Township Road 504 to Range Road 81 South.

It has become more and more difficult to excess my farm land with the dirt road that is there right now. I have noticed a big increase in traffic and also it is only usable in dry weather. It is a big safety concern as well for me when using wide farming equipment, there is no room for passing.

It has become very difficult to do weed spraying and agricultural work in this area because of the limited excess and the condition of the existing road, even on dry days.

The locations effected are West half of section 24-50-RJ.-W5 and South West of section 23-50-R1-W5.

I have been farming in this area since 1972 and I would like to continue to do so.

Itrust you will understand my plight with this difficult situation.

Thank you

Bart Guyon Reeve Brazeau County P.O. Box 77 Drayton Valley, Alberta T7A IRl

Dear Bart

Re: 2017-18 Central-Foothills Regional MPB Summary Report

Following the massive in-flight of Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB)into Alberta in 2009 forest companies and the Government of Alberta worked together to develop the 2010 Central Region MPB Plan to provide a coordinated regional approach to fighting the MPB. Coordinated action by both government and industry over the past 8 years has been successful in controlling the spread of MPB in the Central Region. The in-flight of MPB from Jasper National Park into the Foothills Region over the past two years however now presents a real threat to the pine forest and to the economic viability of rural communities throughout Alberta.

This year's report shows that the MPB is firmly established in both the Central and Foothills Regions and that environmental conditions continue to support a growing population. The dispersed nature of the pine forests in the Central Region and the large areas of pure pine forests in the Foothills Region create very different dynamics in the expected spread of MPB in the two regions.

Increased Level 1 individual tree removal is required to control the eastern spread of MPB in both regions and increased Level 2 harvesting in the Foothills Region is required to control MPB spread and ensure the reforestation of currently infested and endangered pine forests.

As in previous studies the 2017-18 Central-Foothills MPB Annual Report shows that the most effective means of controlling MPB requires well coordinated action by both government and industry.

Your ongoing support for these efforts is greatly appreciated.

2017-18 Report Summary The Central & Foothills 2017-18 Annual Report shows cooperation between industry and government has been effective, but: • MPB continues to spread across the Central and Foothills regions and to threaten our forests, our environment and the economic future of our communities. • Continued aggressive Level 1 control measures, coordinated with Level 2 harvesting operations, are essential to containing the spread of MPB in Alberta. • Increased Level 1 tree removal is required to prevent the spread of the beetle further east. • Increased Level 2 harvesting is required to control the spread of MPB in the Foothills Region and to permit the reforestation of currently infested and endangered pine stands. The forest industry is committed to working with the GoA in the effective control of the MPB in the Central and Foothills Regions.

MPB In-flight from Jasper National Park Threatens Alberta Forests The in-flight of Mountain Pine Beetle(MPB) from Jasper National Park into the Foothills Region over the past two years threatens the pine forest and communities of the region and of the province as a whole. The loss of our pine forests would drastically impair the economic stability of Alberta forest communities and have an enormous impact on forest health and biodiversity, affecting wildlife, watersheds, carbon sequestration, recreational use and other forest values.

Following the massive in-flight of MPB into Alberta in 2009, forest companies and the Government of Alberta (GoA) worked together to develop the 2010 Central Region MPB Action Plan to provide a coordinated regional approach to fighting the infestation. "Level 1" programs - MPB surveys and control of individual infested trees - are primarily carried out by the GoA. "Level 2" programs - harvesting of infested and at-risk pine stands - are conducted by the forest industry under plans approved by the GoA. Detailed annual reports describing the current status of MPB across the Central Region, outlining Level 1 and Level 2 programs completed during the past year, and forecasting the impact of MPB over the next 20 years under various Level 1 and Level 2 scenarios, have been completed each year since 2010. This year's report summary includes comment on the CENTRAL & FOOTHILLS REGIONS spread of MPB and control activities completed in both the Central and Foothills Regions. • Over 60,000 sq km in size, from Red Earth in the north to Current MPB Status Drayton Valley in the south The MPB is now firmly established in both the Central and Foothills Regions of Alberta. The spread • Population of over 60,000 of MPB from Jasper National Park across the predominately pine forests of the Foothills Region • Responsibie for 30X of Alberta's timber harvest over the past two years has been extensive and is a further threat to the pine forests of Alberta. • 1/4 of region's economic activity derived from forest Provincial Support • 1 in 4 jobs forestry related In 2017-18, the GoA allocated $25 million to MPB control programs across the province, down • Over 10,000 forestry- from $35 million last year.

Dear Reeve Guyon,

On July 16th, I formally announced my retirement from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police effective September 8, 2018. After completing 32 years of service, I am proud to serve my last days as the Commanding Officer of "K" Division. At this time, there are processes underway to identify my successor and I am confident a new Commanding Officer will be named shortly after my departure. More information about the incoming Commanding Officer will be provided as it becomes available.

Since taking the helm last year, "K" Division has worked closely with all levels of government to reduce rural crime across our province. By employing innovation and proven crime reduction techniques, I can assure you we are well on our way to further reducing crime in the province and creating a safer environment for all. The funding we received from the Government of Alberta to bolster our crime reduction efforts continues to pay dividends, and the initiatives we have instituted will serve Albertans well into the future.

Our relationships with our community partners, be it at a local, municipal or provincial level, are vital to our success. Our employees are committed to the communities in which they live and serve, and I know they will continue to work hand-in-hand with their local partners and stakeholders to ensure a high level of service.

Throughout this time of transition, the Division will continue to focus on providing the very best policing services to all Albertans - no matter where they live. With a solid leadership team in place at the Detachment, District and Headquarters levels, I am confident your community will feel no impact from the upcoming change.

It has been my honour to lead "K" Division for the last 16 months. I am extremely grateful for your support and partnership, and wish you all the best for a safe and prosperous future.

Yours truly.

Dear Ms. Joceiyn Whaley,

I pleased to introduce myself as the new executive director of the Athabasca Watershed Council. I am very excited to provide you with the attached invitation to the second Municipal Forum for the Athabasca Watershed Municipalities!

The first Municipal Forum (2011) had 13 counties and towns attending and inspired great conversations and information sharing. We have listened to you and we are again bringing the Athabasca Watershed Municipalities together for the common goals: safe, secure drinking water; healthy aquatic ecosystems; and reliable quality water supplies for a sustainable economy.

We have a day filled with stimulating speakers, a look at future projects and more! We will also be asking municipalities to again take five minutes to share with others any successes and challenges your municipality has had in working toward achieving a healthy watershed that supports community sustainability.

A river is a connector. It connects people to the environment and communities to each other. Our quality of life is tied to healthy and sustainable water supplies for the environment, for our communities and for our economic well-being. We look forward to seeing you, members of your council and staff on November 17, 2018 in Westlock!

Please visit our website or feel free to contact us directly for any watershed related information.

Yours truly.

To Jocelyn Whaley,

The DV100 Race or Ride is taking place on September 8, 2018, we are expecting between 350 and 400 riders to partake in our event. 2018 is the seventh year for DV100 and we are always looking for ways to grow our event. 2016 was our first year hosting the DV100 After Party and like the DV100 this event has continued to grow each year. On the evening of September 8, we are hosting the DV100 After Party where there will be entertainment provided by the Blackboard Jungle, who is one of the top cover bands in Alberta, supper catered by the White Bull Café, great company and overall an enjoyable evening.

I would like to request that the councillors of Brazeau County have an opportunity to invest in a table of eight for $320. DV100 has had a long standing relationship with Brazeau over the past seven years our event has taken place and we greatly appreciate this partnership. The DV100 After Party is a way to celebrate another successful year of DV100, as well as an opportunity to connect with DV100 volunteers, riders and community members.

Sincerely,

Erin Luc
